Quotes

[on his name] It's my given, full name. Finn's not short for anything; it's just Finn Wolfhard. And then Wolfhard means, I think, heart of the wolf in German. What's funny is I'm German, but then I'm like French - I'm French and German and then Jewish. It's really weird. I have really weird blood. And then I go to Catholic school, which is really weird.
I will be covering three songs with my band Calpurnia at the Sweet Relief event in May. The band includes my friends Malcolm, who was in the PUP videos with me and is an amazing drummer and actor, and Ayla, who shreds on guitar and has already had multiple Berklee School scholarships (and took the dog in the last PUP video), and Jack, a bass-master. We don't get to jam very often because of my schedule, but I love when we do. Other bands and producers have reached out and I try to post about the bands who work so hard and sound so good, and I also sat down with a Yoda-type dude in L.A. It is unbelievable to be taken seriously by someone at that level. Over the next few months I will have a better idea about where this is all going to go
Millie (Bobby Brown) came in, and obviously she's so nice. I'm Canadian, and she's English, and those are the two combinations of nice people, which is immediately a good chemistry.
"I've just had luck with horror. I'd actually love to do more comedy, but what I really wanna do is an indie drama - an intense indie road-trip movie," he says, citing James Steven Sadwith's recent Coming Through the Rye as inspiration.
I mean, I love acting, but I really wanna direct. And to write." Luckily, he's already in the best position to learn. "A lot of people say, and I definitely agree with this, that a film set is the best film school," he quips. He contemplates alternate lives as he finishes his meal, munching thoughtfully before finally landing on another possible fate: "I'm good at reading people. If I wasn't an actor, I would be a psychologist.
